I rarely use it, buts strangely I used it to navigate

"navigate to 23 Preston park Brighton" and it worked!

The more you use it, the better it [you] gets.
For available options just say ‘help’. You will, or should, quickly learn how to use the most used and useful options to you.

It took a while for me to remember "Clear itinerary ".

I find it absolutely useless. It's not even possible to cancel the guidance using voice commands; you can only mute it.

Are you sure you can't?
According to the manual, "turn off voice guidance".

"Clear itinerary" I think will cancel guidance... Not defending the system however, it is pretty useless. For example I don't know how Volvo could ever argue that Clear itinerary makes more sense then stop or cancel guidance!!

I say cancel itinerary which works fine. Itinerary is the correct word, this is what you want to cancel. Guidance is only the spoken word.

I'm not arguing, technically you may well be correct!!! However, if we were to ask 100 random people on the street, 'what would you try saying to voice control in your car to cancel the current navigation', I *personally* predict very few people would say itinerary!!!!

Can't you say "Stop Guidance" to pause it?
Can it in fact be paused?
Can you then say "Resume Guidance"?

These commands would not intentionally clear the intinerary, but suspend the sat-nav for a time, for example when going through an already well-known part of the route.

Anyone said “fan on” ? Then says “fan off” when confirming. Hours of endless fun

All you need do to find the correct phrase is to firstly say 'Navigation', then 'Help' and it will give you a range of relevant options. You obviously don't need to do this after you learn the correct phrase. It is no different to learning which switch out of dozens to use that you find on certain other cars.

It certainly isn't rocket science to use it or find the phrase "Cancel Itinerary". If I found it and use it successfully with no issues, then surely you could too. Unless you are inferring that you are intellectually incapable of doing so of course, which I doubt.
